KEM is an application for exchanging money. The user can send money or request it from a friend
Clients needed an MVP that they could use to present to banks and attract investments.
In Kuwait, not all people have access to online banking services and this is a major problem.
KEM solves this by providing a convenient, fast and secure P2P payment service.
For registered users, so that they do not have to enter a phone number every time
Now users can fill out the information about themselves, see their contact list, customize notifications, and contact support
Allowing users to view the entire history of their transactions
This will let users keep track of their requests and send reminders to their friends
At the heart of the KEM color pallete is a bright combination of green and purple.
To make money transactions, the app must have an access to the banking systems via API
You need to have a permission to use it
For MVP, we wrote logic with imaginary data to demonstrate the application to banks
You can imagine how the application will work with real data
We met the deadline, and customers went to show the MVP to banks to get access to the API with real data.
But with one condition — the entire technical team must be located in Kuwait. For security reasons, Kuwaiti banks do not allow developers from outside to work with the API. That's why KEM started to assemble an inhouse team.
We got on the call with the customers, handed over the code and all the accesses. For a month we were in touch, answered CTO's questions and extended test builds.
Hello, the beta build for the app has expired. We need to extend it as soon as possible
Hi, the developers say that they can update the build within 1.5 hours. Is it OK?
That’s perfect, thank you guys so much!
Do you need help with iOS, Android or both?
...
This was necessary, so that the customer could continue to show the product to the investors. In the meantime, KEM's CTO was familiarizing himself with the code, architecture, and hiring a team. In the process, we answered his questions and helped him immerse himself into the context faster.
Could you please give me access to your Github, so I can have a look at the source code?
Sure, can you provide me with your nickname or email from github?

Since the handover of the project, the in-house team wrote a back-end with real APIs and rebranded it. And as a result — KEM entered the market.
Kuwait Investment Fund and other international companies invested in the development of KEM. This was possible thanks to the MVP, which demonstrated the full potential of the app.
Investors are confident that the project is a game-changer for the fintech services market in the entire Gulf region.
